Constants

ConstantValueDescriptionDefined By
SAME_SITE_LAX 'Lax' SameSite policy Lax will prevent the cookie from being sent by the browser in all cross-site browsing context during CSRF-prone request methods (e.g. POST, PUT, PATCH etc). E.g. a POST request from https://otherdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com will not include the cookie, however a GET request will. When a user follows a link from https://otherdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com it will include the cookie yii\web\Cookie
SAME_SITE_STRICT 'Strict' SameSite policy Strict will prevent the cookie from being sent by the browser in all cross-site browsing context regardless of the request method and even when following a regular link. E.g. a GET request from https://otherdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com or a user following a link from https://otherdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com will not include the cookie. yii\web\Cookie

Property Details

$domain public property

Domain of the cookie

public string $domain ''
$expire public property

The timestamp at which the cookie expires. This is the server timestamp. Defaults to 0, meaning "until the browser is closed".

public integer $expire 0
$httpOnly public property

Whether the cookie should be accessible only through the HTTP protocol. By setting this property to true, the cookie will not be accessible by scripting languages, such as JavaScript, which can effectively help to reduce identity theft through XSS attacks.

public boolean $httpOnly true
$name public property

Name of the cookie

public string $name null
$path public property

The path on the server in which the cookie will be available on. The default is '/'.

public string $path '/'
$sameSite public property (available since version 2.0.21)

SameSite prevents the browser from sending this cookie along with cross-site requests. Please note that this feature is only supported since PHP 7.3.0 For better security, an exception will be thrown if sameSite is set while using an unsupported version of PHP. To use this feature across different PHP versions check the version first. E.g. `php $cookie->sameSite = PHP_VERSION_ID >= 70300 ? yii\web\Cookie::SAME_SITE_LAX : null, ` See https://www.owasp.org/index.php/SameSite for more information about sameSite.

public string $sameSite null
$secure public property

Whether cookie should be sent via secure connection

public boolean $secure false
$value public property

Value of the cookie
